This has been without a doubt the worst year I have ever had for growing. It has been raining for 8 weeks and the 10-day forecast is expecting a lot more rain with little to no sunshine. Everything is rotting in the patch now. Temperatures are at about 16C during the day.
I lost this swede (my biggest) to rot today along with two more carrots and 4 tomatoes. It doesn't look like I will have much if anything for the weigh-off in October.
The long gourd pretty much shut down overnight, so nothing from it either, I'm afraid. The only thing I have going now is a long cucumber which is in the 75-80cm range.
